Wearable Communication Enhancement Device

1. A wearable apparatus comprising: a frame having a memory and processor associated therewith; an infrared camera associated with the frame and in communication with the processor, the infrared camera configured to track an eye of a wearer; at least one microphone associated with the frame, the at least one microphone configured to receive a directional instruction from the processor, the directional instruction based upon, at least in part, an adaptive beamforming analysis performed in response to a detected eye movement from the infrared camera, wherein an identification of a non-wearer of the apparatus is performed based upon detecting a pre-defined eye movement of the wearer, wherein detecting the pre-defined eye movement of the wearer triggers a setting that avoids inadvertently resetting the directional instruction if the wearer looks away from the non-wearer, wherein the at least one microphone includes a beamformer with a spatial postfilter and a model based reverberation equalizer configured to suppress reverberation at the spatial postfilter; and a speaker associated with the frame, the speaker configured to provide an audio signal received at the at least one microphone to the wearer only.

2. The wearable apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to convert the audio signal to text.

3. The wearable apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising: at least one lens configured to receive the text from the processor and to provide the text to the wearer.

4. The wearable apparatus of claim 2 wherein the memory is configured to store at least one of contact information and conversation log files based upon the converted text.

5. The wearable apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising: a facial recognition camera associated with the frame, the facial recognition camera configured to identify the non-wearer of the apparatus.

6. The wearable apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the speaker is included within at least one headphone in communication with the processor.

7. The wearable apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the directional instruction is based upon, at least in part, an identification of the non-wearer of the apparatus.

8. The wearable apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising: at least one lens configured to display visual feedback to the wearer, the visual feedback including at least one of beam shape, beam direction, and the identified non-wearer of the apparatus.

9. A method comprising: tracking an eye of a wearer using a camera associated with a frame, the frame having a processor and a memory associated therewith; receiving a directional instruction from the processor at a microphone associated with the frame, the directional instruction based upon, at least in part, an adaptive beamforming analysis performed in response to a detected eye movement from the camera, wherein an identification of a non-wearer of the apparatus is performed based upon detecting a pre-defined eye movement of the wearer, wherein detecting the pre-defined eye movement of the wearer triggers a setting that avoids inadvertently resetting the directional instruction if the wearer looks away from the non-wearer, wherein the at least one microphone includes a beamformer with a spatial postfilter and a model based reverberation equalizer configured to suppress reverberation at the spatial postfilter; adjusting a direction of the at least one microphone, based upon the directional instruction; receiving an audio signal at the at least one microphone; and providing the audio signal to the wearer only using a speaker associated with the frame.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: converting, using the processor, the audio signal to text.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising: receiving the text from the processor and providing the text to at least one lens.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising: storing at least one of contact information and conversation log files based upon the converted text in the memory.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: identifying the non-wearer of the apparatus using a facial recognition camera associated with the frame.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the speaker is included within at least one headphone in communication with the processor.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the directional instruction is based upon, at least in part, the identification of a non-wearer of the apparatus.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: displaying visual feedback to the wearer on at least one lens, the visual feedback including at least one of beam shape, beam direction, and the identified non-wearer of the apparatus.

17. A wearable apparatus comprising: a frame having a memory and processor associated therewith; an infrared camera associated with the frame and in communication with the processor, the infrared camera configured to track an eye of a wearer, wherein an identification of a target of the apparatus is performed based upon detecting a pre-defined eye movement of the wearer; a second camera associated with the frame and in communication with the processor, the second camera configured to track a position of the target of the apparatus upon detecting the pre-defined eye movement of the wearer; at least one microphone associated with the frame, the at least one microphone configured to receive a directional instruction from the processor based upon adaptive beamforming analysis performed by the processor and the position of the target of the apparatus, wherein the at least one microphone includes a beamformer with a spatial postfilter and a model based reverberation equalizer configured to suppress reverberation at the spatial postfilter; and a speaker associated with the frame, the speaker configured to provide an audio signal received at the at least one microphone to the wearer only.
